Driver Brett Miller Hospitalized
 
Published: July 21, 2012 9:31 am ET
Trot Insider has learned that driver Brett Miller will not be able to make his drives for Saturday night's Maple Leaf Trot card at Mohawk Racetrack.
The Pennsylvania-based reinsman booked off his drives Friday night at The Meadows and was forced to call off his Canadian road trip due to a medical emergency. The career winner of more than 5,900 races and $42.3 million in purses was listed to drive in six races on Saturday night at Mohawk, including the featured $750,000 Maple Leaf Trot with Winning Mister as well as the $391,000 Roses Are Red Stakes with Camille and the $148,540 Canadian Breeders Championship for three-year-old filly pacers with Jeremes Sweetheart.
Rick Zeron will reportedly pick up the drive on Camille, while Winning Mister's driver is TBA. Jeremes Sweetheart is scratched from her CBC event and will not race.
Miller will also reportedly miss his Sunday night assignments at Rideau Carleton Raceway. Further updates will be posted when available.

Relapse?

I've been told what the issue is, and due to HIPPA laws I will not divulge the issue at this time, but it has nothing to do with any sort of relapse.

This is a serious issue that will not be joked about on this forum, period. This is a kid that is like family to me that we are talking about.

Glad to hear it.   I was just up his way, sure you know from ip addresses  and a mutual friend was praising his charisma and sheer will to get that behind him.

My bag for every implying it.

Hope he's alright, it's sad some people always have to try and and be scummy about everything.

Best wishes on a speedy recovery.

Sorry, boss. This is an internet site. And while the internet IS serious business, there is no HIPPA restriction here. It is your board and you can do what you choose... just as I do on mine... but I have to call you on this. Just say, "I know the problem and there will be no discussion. It's serious and all that matters is Brett getting healthy."

I'm no doctor.......but I have played one on tv..........naked.

Brett has some internal bleeding.  Hopefully they find out from where quickly.  Yanick told us last night he took a migraine medication which left his stomach a mess and he knows Brett is on the same stuff.......could be a possibility.   

He needs to be healthy......especially for this time of year.


The relapse comment was uncalled for and pretty chickenshit..........hence my big mouth running on what I've been told about his situation.

Get well Brett!

If it's his stomach it could just be from Advil, alieve, Tylenol, or many other harmless medications.   Guys like he and i who travel frequently and live out of a suitcase sometimes wake up sore,  headache, whatever and pop a pill and carry on.   Drinking coffee or soda or even just water.   Without food those pills can tear up your guts.   Recovery is fairly quick.

All the best to B. Miller.

My stomach has never been able to handle much pain meds, and will not tolerate Ibuprofen at all. Thankfully I haven't needed them very often.

Get well soon, Brett!

That would have made me a brain surgeon.........I'm just a run of the mill general practitioner.

Great news on driving god Miller's health. I just spoke with his wife Stacey and his health has vastly improved and though he is still a little weak, will hopefully be back in action on Friday.
